Despite President Donald Trump's assertion that a peace agreement with Iran is 'largely negotiated,' the White House has clarified that final approval could take several days. A senior U.S. official indicated that the deal, which includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, will require the approval of Iran's leadership, particularly Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Concurrently, Iranian military adviser Mohsen Rezaei warned that Tehran might withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if attacked. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed discussions with Trump about the agreement, stressing that it must dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei noted that while progress has been made, further mediation is needed, and a comprehensive agreement could take an additional 30 to 60 days to finalize. The situation remains tense following a series of naval blockades and military conflicts that began on February 28, 2026.
